Can film reviews be compared to the hyped growth stock? Undoubtedly, I would like to compare Delhi Belly as a tech stock of 2000’s. Absolutely no value and all hype!
It was the first movie in my life where I wanted to just leave in the interval (there was no interval, so after 45 mins. I felt I had to just move out of the movie hall). What is Aamir Khan trying to show in this movie, I still can’t figure out...
Yes, he has become a master salesman who can sell any lame movie with all the Peppery words to the public. All Ivy league B-school grads should call him as a guest lecturer. After all we do need to train these chaps in becoming big shots in insidious firms like Lehman and Bear Stearns. Well, he will be a best prof to guide that, especially when he can get 4 Stars in all the major newspapers for this crappy movie.
All major newspapers said it’s the best youth movie which is gonna be a cult movie. Now I can understand Dil Chahta Hai and even Rang De Basanti being a cult movie, but Delhi Belly – not even in my wildest dreams!
There is hardly any story line. It is just one of the stereotype movies where the smuggled diamonds are misplaced by the protagonists, and there is complete chaos for getting the diamonds back by goons and them. I would have been okay with stuff too but this is just one part of it. The movie begins with an abuse (all words BC, MC, G, C, etc. etc….) and ends with an abuse and there is nothing except this. Yes, there is farting too in this one (bad Belly you see :)).
Now come to the worst part, people were laughing whenever these words were spoken! or some farting scene was shown. This was supposed to be a funny movie….but we have stooped so low in making such movies or we fell so low in our standards, that we are calling this funny stuff. Farting will be enjoyed once….not in every other scene. Even kiddos will laugh for 5-6 times max. but we adults weren’t tired of laughing….
Does youthfulness means using abusive language as fad and showing off? Well I am still a youth (I assume :P) and I sparingly use any of the above words but I have friends who use them, but occasionally, definitely not in every sentence….and I presume that this would be applicable to most of us!
So was just wondering, how does this movie get 4 stars. Hats off to Aamir! You are truly a RocketSingh...

True review
They say movies are reflection on society. So which society do you live in? Every college, club, cafeteria or hang out place has people like Tashi and Arup using abusive language. Quite frankly, it has become a way of life that many of us have adopted. It is high time for the censor board does so too.
Keeping the farting aside (after all the movie IS named Delhi Belly), Aamir Khan has given a good description of today's youth - whether it is the language, the kisses or even the girlfriends.
And quite frankly, that IS what the society is like today. So wake up!
The previous comment said it all... Art imitates life
This was the first realistic movie to come out of the Hindi film industry in quite some time. The youth of this country speak the same language and have similar mannerisms. I am sorry that you have mistakenly identified yourself with the youth of India. You need to break free from your mental shackles and interact more with people outside, rather than stay stuck in Shakespearean times.
Hey guys thanks for the comments. You can be right that I am misidentified myself as a youth. I will surely wake up to the new age :)
Quite frankly I liked the sound track of Delhi Belly (especially DKBOSE)and also the movies like Pyar ka Punchnama. Now this movie is way better than Delhi Belly. Atleast it has some story line unlike the former.
